McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

REPORTER: What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you? TRUMP: You're ABC fake news, right? Let me tell you -- you should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet ... when they give you a putt, you pick it up and you walk to the next hole

Yes, Tr*mp did this. But don’t forget that the GOP has decided to bootlick rather than stop this pain and fear. As the global economy crumbles and so many of us wonder what our futures will look like, remember they are all choosing to let this happen.

I’ve interviewed a lot of victims stayed in an abusive relationship because they worried their loved ones would judge them for not leaving sooner. They needed support and they knew they would get ridicule instead. And that’s something I’m thinking about a lot in this political environment.

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

How can I/we support these brave judges who are standing up for the rule of law? They are our only hope for survival of The Constitution. All answers appreciated.

Stupid question: have Musk or Trump actually shown us all the corruption and illegal spending they keep referring to? Or did I just miss a big long list….🧐

"That is why Elon’s commission looks, sounds, and smells like a sham. Because thus far, the biggest beneficiaries aren’t working class Americans, but rather Elon Musk himself. You don’t get credit for rooting out abuse if your execution raises more questions than it answers."

Trump swapping bureaucrats for loyalists is like firing the weatherman and hiring a guy who just loves sunshine. The government isn’t a reality show, but he sure wants all the contestants to swear loyalty to him. If expertise doesn’t matter, let’s start picking doctors based on their high-fives.

Trump’s deportation strategy is akin to evicting the architects and builders while claiming to renovate the house—economically reckless and historically shortsighted. Perhaps if he studied the nation’s foundation, he’d realize that immigrants aren’t the problem—they’re the blueprint.

Biden: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape"

He orchestrated a coup. It failed. He was a convicted felon. He rose to power on a wave of divisive propaganda and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric. He promised to make things great again. He threatened to annex his neighbors. I'm referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler.

California pays more in federal taxes than it receives in return, while Mike Johnson’s Louisiana takes more than it gives.

Mike Johnson just threatened to potentially extort California by adding “conditions” to wildfire disaster relief aid. He said Republicans might attach unrelated things to the funding, like Trump’s demand to raise the debt ceiling.

I arrived yesterday at work and my MAGA boss was literally Beaming, saying how Trump is On Fire! He’s on Time Magazine, he’s ringing the bell, he’s Fixing Everything!! And when I volunteered that Trump isn’t even in office yet, that didn’t matter, He’s doing it anyway. Help.
